I will do anything in my power
To somehow earn your love
If I behave and don't talk back,
Will you still beat me?
If I do well in school,
Will you still yell at me?
If I become the perfect child,
Will you continue to hate me?
And yet, hard as I try,
You continue to get angry
What am I doing wrong?
I push myself harder,
Striving to be the perfect son
I try so hard every day
To be a "good boy" and make you happy
But no matter what I do or achieve,
It's never enough for you
But I will do anything in my power
To somehow earn your love
